Canadian Tax Court comments on cross-border financing structure
The Tax Court of Canada recently released their decision in Lehigh Cement Limited v. R. and CBR Alberta Limited v. R., 2013 TCC 176, which deals with whether a cross-border financing structure ran afoul of a specific anti-avoidance provision in the Income Tax Act (the “Act”). The Court closely examined the wording of the provision and held in favour of the Taxpayers (collectively, Lehigh Cement Limited and CBR Alberta Limited).

The best tax advice you’ll ever receive: AVOID CHARITABLE TAX SHELTERS
Last week, a longtime colleague of mine sent me a link to some promotional material that a charitable tax shelter had recently distributed. The material was trumpeting a “win” in the Federal Court regarding a procedural matter for a taxpayer involved in a charitable tax shelter. To “celebrate” such a “win,” the tax shelter was offering a discount, for a “limited time” to its subscribers for its latest offering. As I read the material, my stomach turned. For those of you who know me, it will be no surprise that I despise charitable tax shelters.

On April 26, 2012, our firm wrote about the Tax Court of Canada’s decision in MacDonald that dealt with pipeline transactions and the possible application of subsection 84(2) of the Income Tax Act (the “Act”). Almost a year to the day later, April 25, 2013, the Federal Court of Appeal (“FCA”) released its decision in the Government of Canada’s appeal. For the reasons discussed in this blog, the decision is an unfortunate reversal of the good news that was discussed in our previous blog.
